Experimental modification in thermal stability of oligomers by alanine substitution and site saturation mutagenesis of interfacial residues.

Abstract excerpt

For certain industrial applications, the stability of protein oligomers is important. In this study, we demonstrated an efficient method to improve the thermal stability of oligomers using the trimeric protein chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) as the model. We substituted all interfacial residues of CAT with alanine to detect residues critical for oligomer stability. Mutation of six of the forty-nine...
